Where To Get The Impossible Burger on the UWS

Vegans and vegetarians rejoice! The “Impossible Burger” has made its way to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Not familiar with the Impossible Burger? It’s a trending option for those who enjoy the flavor, aroma, juiciness, and texture of a traditional burger, but have opted not to eat meat. It even sizzles when cooked.

The Impossible Burger may look exactly like a real burger, but is made of no animal products, and instead, cites wheat protein, coconut oil, heme, and potato protein as some of its key ingredients.

Twitter users, in particular, have taken an extreme liking to the Impossible Burger, posting photos and tweets praising the burger.

While some argue that the burger may not be the most nutritious, it’s definitely a solid option, especially for someone who may miss the experience of eating a traditional burger. While it is nutritionally not all that different from a regular burger, it is worth a shot.

Curious to try it for yourself? Luckily the Upper West Side has got you covered with places that supply the Impossible Burger. Check out the list of places below that are slinging these burgers on the Upper West Side.
